SSSCCCRRRREEEE! BANG! Clatter, clatter, clatter!
“That felt good!” Mocker exclaimed!
“Well we did upgrade the power level by 50%. Also your sonic defenses are improved!” Frank commented.
“What about these boot jets?” Mocker asked.
“They are NOT boot jets! They are redirection ports for your Sonic Emitter that allows you to maneuver in the air using your sonic abilities!” Frank yelled!
“Yeah, yeah, as long as they allow me to fly away from my enemies!” Mocker announced! “So I am bringing the band back together. You in?”
Frank mused a bit “Will we occasionally mess with that Corp that ruined my life?”
“Absolutely! I was thinking of starting with Mace. We could use another tech person!” commenter Mocker.
“Naw, he died five years ago!” Frank announced.
“Really? On the job?” Mocker inquired.
“Nope. Cancer!” Frank said.
“You send flowers?” Mocker asked curiously.
“Nope. Cash!” “But you may want to check one of his old work-warehouses in Toronto! I hear that someone has been using it, and it sure isn’t Mace!” Frank intoned.
“Toronto? Like Canada? What was he doing up there? Mocker asked incredulously.
“Believe it or not there’s an old folks home there for supers! Mace got in after his diagnosis. He was pretty happy. Anyway he still took some consulting work and the occasional fabrication job from me. So if someone is using his old lab, maybe we should get to know them?” surmised Frank .
“I’ll check it out. You get your suit up and running!” Mocker flew off into the night!
Frank went back to his main workshop, went to a panel and flipped a secret switch. A side door opened into a secret room containing a gleaming armored suit. “Hello FIST!”
-
One month later June 2021
Frank Streeter sat at the work table in his workshop. Well his number three workshop. BUT, it was the only one that Mocker knew of. After hearing about the robberies and beatings, he surmised that Mocker needed some repairs, and was heading here for a fix up. So Frank sat and waited. Soon his outer perimeter alarm beeped. Checking the cameras, he wasn’t sure. He was preparing to flip the anti personnel switch, when he heard the work code they used to use.
So he opened up the last door.
“You look like sh*t!”
“Yeah!” Mocker replied. “I need fixing!”
“No duh!” said Frank. “Get up on the table and see what we need to do! WOW! This is gonna cost. You bring enough cash?”
Mocker tossed him a satchel. “All I could get on short notice! And I don’t want just fixing, but upgrading.”
Frank looked at the gems and jewels. “I am going to outsource some of this. Argent is not cheap!”
Mocker started, “Argent? Not Trade?”
“Trade!” Frank scoffed, “They tried to steal my suit. They are mixed up with that Corp that tried to steal it in the first place!” “So what upgrades?”
And Mocker started describing his vision…

For my next set I am going to do something a bit.. different. I am going to modernize a classic villain team, and tell it as a story.
So I present to you:
The Return of the Crushers
Part 1
Date: Unknown
BZZZZ. BZZZZ. BZZZZPPP!
Emergency power system online. Diagnostics commencing.
Legs injured. Left arm unusable. Sonic Emitters off line. Memory accessed.
Unit Name: Mark R — Mocker?--- Yes!
Where is he?
Visual systems working, so he must be in darkness. Feeling around, he figured a man sized crate. Feels like wood. Right arm is still functional, can he free himself?
Five minutes later he was out of the box. Apparently he was in storage in some sort of warehouse. That looked abandoned. Investigating, he figured this was a warehouse holding momentos from an East Coast super hero team. Breaking into the office, he found a functioning computer and got it to function. 2021? His last memory was 1999, he was in battle and was knocked into a major power source that overloaded all his circuits and resulted in a shut down. He spent the next few hours to find out about history for the next 20 years. Now onto fixing himself.
Fortunately the warehouse had a decent engineering bay and he was able to effect basic repairs to his legs and left arm. Now time for upgrades.
His first idea was to find FIST and have him fix him up, but that would take money. Fortunately he had a few emergency staches that he could access.
Days later police had reports of a strange metallic man breaking into junk yards and old subway tunnels. In a few cases he left some gang members and homeless people beaten and in one case dead. And it appeared that nothing was stolen. Something was coming!

The Northcliffe family were .... odd. They had links to the supernatural, druids, freemasons and others. But Marilyn's father, Howard, wanted to be rid of this and so moved to Canada and dropping the last "e" in their name. But even that didn't stop it. One day Aunt Andrea showed up and told Howard that she was destined to become a powerful wizard one say. Howard responded by moving, leaving no forwarding address.So Marilyn grew up in southern Ontario. Never hearing about magic. Then while on an overnight church trip, she was ambushed in her room and had a gun pointed at her head. But Aunt Andrea saved her and ran away with her into the USA. Finally ending up in Boston, they stopped at a bookstore, picked up a white bound book and left for a friendly coven in NY state.
While there Marilyn read the book as the magic entered her, until finally she turned the last page, and in a flash of light, the book disappeared, replaced with a hooded white cape. They moved again, as her enemies would attack to eliminate the threat she posed. Eventually she joined SuperTemps. This gives her two benefits 1- training in the use of her powers and 2- protection from her hunters.
Personality/Motivation:
Forced to grow up fast, White Sorceress has a serious mien. Also her suspicious nature make her seem shy.
Quote:Powers/Tactics:
An accomplished mage with a large repertoire of spells. Her most important is the protection spell on her permanently.
In a fight, she plays support. She prefers Illusions and Mental Attacks, but a well placed Force Wall is always good. Also she has some healing abilities.Campaign Use:
Magic families.
A mysterious destiny.
A father still looking for his daughter.Appearance: Caucasian female 165 cm, 52 kg. Shoulder length brown hair, violet eyes. She wears jeans and blousy tops and a long white hooded cloak!
She's also 17 years old, so if you want to add a DF teenager, go ahead.
To power down - Get rid of the Ego Attack with trigger and reduce her MP to 50 AP. If you really want to weaken her, make it 40 AP.
To power up - raise the MP to 100 AP. This will allow her to activate two powers at once. As well you could make the cloak have some enchantment, like flying and invisibility. -

Background/History:
Jeanette Atchison is the daughter of a white father and black mother. Even in the late 1990s, this caused issues, especially in the North Florida town she grew up in. Though she did well in school, a debilitating illness with her mother took all the family resources, and she was forced to give up her dream of following her father into law.
She applied to every scholarship and bursary she could, this eventually led her to joining the CIA. At first she did administrative work, but later she underwent field training and was placed on assignment. Three years later it seemed as if he luck had run out, as an enemy guard noticed her taking photos and pursued her. He was about to shoot her, when he meta gene kicked in. She went shadow and hid in the darkness. Her superiors were ecstatic at having a meta human, and quickly gauged her abilities and sent her on more dangerous mission. This she did eagerly, but the shine wore off and a year later she resigned.
Now out of the CIA, she was at loose ends. So she joined SuperTemps as she felt she had something to offer. Taking the name Twilight, she now works in the Guardian Division.
Personality/Motivation:
She wants to help people.
Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Twilight has abilities dealing with shadow and darkness. She can take a shadow form, animate darkness, blind opponents, place fields of darkness. As well she is a trained agent with years of field craft.
Campaign Use:
Well she was a spy. Maybe an old enemy. Or even someone in the CIA who thinks her resignation was a ruse for some plot.
Appearance:
Mixed Caucasian- African American female 170 cm and 55 kg, light brown curly hair cut short and brown eyes. Her costume are black tights and a dark grey top and a black scarf like mask!
Shadow Powers, Spy Skills, Questioning Beliefs. Yep she tick all the boxes.
To power down - Get rid of MA damage classes, and reduce shadow abilities by 10 AP each!
To power up - Add a Teleport through Shadow and a NND Shadow touch to the EC.
As it is she's expensive due to her skill set, not her powers! -
I'm not from around here!

Artral is not from around here. His home planet Rynkar is across the Milky Way, from a planet that developed its tech from some Precursor artifacts. This allowed them to go from early gunpowder to space flight in a few decades. One item that was kept hidden was a time machine. Then a disgruntled family tried to take it to change the past, and place them in a place of power. Fortunately they were stopped, and the rescuers were given the honor of being its guardians. Then, decades later, another group made an attempt, and were proving to be better organized. Artral, one of the last guardians, decided to destroy the device rather than losing it. When he woke up, he was in West Virginia.Clarence Hall was a retired lawyer, living on his isolated house, when he found Artral. It took a year before Artral could converse in English. And another to understand the world situation. As a warrior, he needed a cause, but the world government were wanting in his opinion. Then he heard about SuperTemps. Taking the name Tom Kelly, he was appointed to the Defense Squad.
About six months later he heard that Clarence was dying of cancer. When Clarence died, Tom was named his heir. Artral returned to duty, and channeled his grief into his work.
Even today no one realizes he is an alien ( He says he is a victim of a super accident). Recently he has heard about a meta human that sounds like a Rynkarian. Taking a leave of absence, he travels from town to town, investigating the rumors!
Personality/Motivation:
Timekeeper is the alien who is unfamiliar with earth culture. Add a lack of humour, and he can be played extremely serious, or as a figure of humour.Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Timekeeper can boost his strength and his running speed. Among his people he is one of the most powerful. But he can only do it for a limited amount of time. If the situation needs it, he will boost his abilities, but only for what is necessary. After that he will find a HTH opponent and attack with his staff.Campaign Use:
Because of his travels, Timekeeper can be added to a scenario very easily. Also there is the issue of being an alien!Appearance:
Oriental and Caucasian features 193 cm and 91 kg. He has black hair in a military cut, gold eyes, and his skin is blue-green with scales. His costume is a black military type uniform and he carries a metal staff!
For those times where you want somebody to say "WHY?". An alien questioning our actions is a time honoured trope.
To power down - Reduce Str, Dex, Con to 20 and lower the Boost to 20 pts (4d6 effect)
To power up - Str to 30, Con to 25, increase PD ED buy 5pts each.
Note he should have a Distinctive Features at least at 10 pts, maybe 15! -
Another classic build!

Amos Tonlin preferred science to people. Science follows rules, people ... not so much. Amos did well in school, and it was no surprise he was recruited by NASA in their aeronautic division. Then TRADE came calling to try and recruit him. He was repulsed by their mandate, and made it certain he was NOT interested.In opposition he started STAR (Science, Technology, Applied Research) with the idea of supplying tech help to the super's crowd. Though it was great in theory, it never got off the ground as there was no leadership, and so no definitive direction. Soon Amos was the last employee and he had to declare bankruptcy.
At a meeting with Vincent Kyriakedos AKA Nucleus, Vincent stated the Amos could still use science and tech to help people, just on a more individual basis. So Amos dusted off some notes, and built a prototype suit with boot jets, a concussion beam and an electro blaster. And he took the name Skylord. Stationed in Phoenix with Nucleus, they make a good team. And through SuperTemps, he is marketing some of his inventions to help better mankind!
Personality/Motivation:
Amos is a very likable guy and very intelligent. Except in leadership. There he has a very laid back style that lets people do what they want, with no direction.Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Besides his great intelligence and scientific expertise, Skylord benefits from a personal battlesuit. The suit has Kevlar protection supplemented by a force field device. He has boot jets for maneuverability. And he is armed with a concussion beam (to stun opponents), an electro blaster (when he does have to damage people, a set of smoke grenades, and some psi-bombs (in case of mentalists).He prefers to stay airborne in a fight. He prefers the concussive beam at first, hoping to set them up for his electro blaster. His smoke grenades are to set up opponents, or for a retreat.
Campaign Use:
Another "Do you need some special gadget for that special somebody?" Also anoth person with links to TRADE. Also is players want to restart STAR corp, Amso would be a good recruit. Just keep him out of administration/ leadership!Appearance:
Caucasian male, 180 cm and 77 kg. He has short black hair and blue eyes. The Skylord suit is metallic grey with light and dark blue highlights!Again with a classic build!
To power down - reduce SPD to four and the MP to 60 pts!
To power up - Bring Gadget Pool to 60 pts, flight to 25" and +2 to Ranged Combat -
Another homage to a classic!

Background/History:
Katherine Swenson's early years were unremarkable. She played, got into fights (which she always won because even then she was very strong) explored the area. She loved camping, and once when on a camping/hiking trip, her and another student got too close to a cliff and started sliding off. Katherine grabbed the other girl and pulled, and found herself flying. She swore the other girl to silence, mostly to keep it hidden from her parents, who were critical of metahuman 'Freaks".
She practiced flying when she could, and started to practice martial arts, telling her parents that eventually she was going to move out, and a girl needed to protect herself. Eventually she enrolled in Oregon State, where out from her parents, her grades began to jump. Also she continued her Martial Art and flying practice.
One day she saw a boat burning in Puget Sound. She flew over to investigate just as the family jumped into the water and the boat exploded. She quickly grabbed the boy and took him to shore, heading back she dove into the water to find the parents. There she found another facet of her powers, she could "fly under water" and breath there also.
So Katherine joined SuperTemps as Sea Hawk. Stationed in Seattle, she helps the local Coast Guard as a reserve member in search and rescue and stopping maritime crime.
Personality/Motivation:
Katherine like helping people and her getting paid for it is a nice bonus. Off hours she's a joker, on the clock, she's very professional.
Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Sea Hawk's main ability is flight and super swimming. As well she can survive underwater indefinitely. Finally she has great strength for a person of her height and build. Add the Martial Arts, the "claws" as she calls them, and her durability.
Campaign Use:
If you have a sea adventure on the West Coast then Sea Hawk may get involved. This can even lead inland if she follows up into a major river, like the Fraser!
Appearance:
Caucasian female, 170 cm and 59kg. She has very long pale blond hair and blue eyes. Her costume is a one piece body suit coloured blue, green and grey.If you are going for a homage, make it good. This one is pretty likable.
To power down - Reduce Str and Dex to 20 each, Flight to 20" and get rid of the HTH attack
To Power up- Increase Str to 30 , add a X4 NCM to swim and X8 to flight. Also bring her PD and ED to 15/15 -
She's reminds me of someone!

Kelly Lyons Always knew she had powers. At an early age she could move rock and sand, and later found she could turn to sand. But her parents told her to never use her powers and to keep them hidden. That was not too hard and Kelly turned her self confidence to school and social activities. Then came university. She could keep up with the studies, but found the costs difficult. Rather that flip burgers, she used the fact that she was a business major to apply to SuperTemps, where they could use her either as an administrative position or as a super.So she worked three days a week in the office and two days in the Industrial division. Kelly's parents found out about her clandestine activities, but were happy she was using her powers for something useful. But then her father lost his job and money became tight. So SuperTemps placed a call with another of their members Linda Ravenhair AKA Astronaut. Linda had a scholarship program for young ladies and Kelly applied. Two years later she graduated and got a job with Linda to oversee the scholarship fund. She still works for SuperTemps, usually in Industrial, but occasionally in the Guardian Division.
Personality/Motivation:
Extremely self confident. She balks at the idea that she has limitations. She is very much a go-getter.Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Kelly can manipulate sand and dirt, shape it, fire it as a stream, or as a solid projectile. Also she can turn to sand, where she can allow objects to pass through her, or become extremely hard and durable. Finally she can travel though sand and dirt as if she was swimming.So far her tactics are limited due to inexperience. She will usually try to bind first (entangle) then fir e a stone missile (EB AP) or a sand jet (an application of her TK). If the battlefield permits it, she'll use her tunneling to get into a surprise position!
Campaign Use:
Member at large. At a business meeting (as Scholarship administrator), at an industrial site, or finally as added muscle for a mission.Appearance:
Caucasian female 165 cm and 45 kg. She has straight shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. Her costume is a one piece with a mask that leaves her jaw and hair free. It is a two tone light and dark brown!So she's like the Sandman, but nice.
To power down- Reduce armour to 12/12, tunneling to 4", and the MP to 45 AP
To power up- Raise armour to 15/15, tunneling to 8" and add a sand screen (Darkness) to the MP!

One NPC in my game - an 'ace' reporter - is a secret mutant with this power. The players interact with her all the time and are pretty sure she's hiding superpowers (she always seems to be the first on scene) but haven't guessed this one yet (last guess was Danger Sense and a Megascale movement of some type).
That is SO COOL!

Background/History:
Robert Hassem is the son of Palestinian immigrants. He had a happy childhood, until his parents were taken hostage but an employee. Though SWAT tried, they were unsuccessful in negotiation and his parents were killed. Now placed with is strict uncle, Robert became sullen. He dreamed of having the ability to go through walls, until one day it became a reality. He never told his guardians, who threw him out on the street at fifteen for his failure to submit to Islam.
Now on his own, and with a small inheritance from his parents, he bought some property, a car, and some weapons. and started practicing. His first foray happened by accident. He came across a hostage situation, so garbing a pistol he went invisible and desolid. He found the culprit, became visible and shot him in the stomach. When asked who he was, he replied "I guess I'm the ransom!" He then fled the scene. Since then he has participated in a number of hostage situations. In the last one, one of the victims was from a wealthy family. They offered 250000$. He went to SuperTemps, who negotiated on his behalf, and he gave them a 10% commission. Since them he has helped on a few cases, but only if it involves hostages.
Personality/Motivation:
No other person should suffer as he has. His goal is to save the lives of hostages.
Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Ransom has three major powers. He can go desolid, then invisible. Also he can glide from place to place. Also his determination makes him very resistant to mental manipulation. He also has infrared vision. He carries a pair of Colt .45 pistols, and SMG and a combat knife. When on the job he also wears basic body armour. He will go in, survey the situation, and when ready, show up behind the target and shoot him. Then he will go desolid and invisible and move out as fast as possible. If there are multiple targets, he'll try to wait till they are separated before acting.
Campaign Use:
Are his tactics justified? Here is the dark side of herodom!
Appearance:
Arabic features, 188 cm and 86 kg he has black hair and brown eyes. His costume is black body armour with a black hood. He has a pair of shoulder holsters, and a knife at his belt, and an SMG slung on his back!
Use this guy if you want your campaign to take a darker turn.
Also GURPS does not have a cost for normal real world equipment. So that list is just from what they mentioned in his description. Feel free to change it if you wish.
To power down- link the Invisibility and the gliding to the desolid.
To power up- add some Martial Arts usable with the knife. To really add to him, add a few smoke and flashbangs and give him Flash Defense

Vincent Kyriakedos Was always driven. From first grade math to high school science he was determined to never fail. Though he was bullied, it was never for long as if there was a fight, Vincent found a way to win. Inevitably he got a full ride to Harvard. After his Bachelors and Masters in Chemistry, he went to MIT For his Doctorate. His advisor was nearing retirement and so basically rubber stamped any avenue of research he wanted. And he wanted to research something called the nanofeild, that would shrink items within it. After isolating it and trying it on inanimate objects, he tried it on a live specimen. It worked.Now he placed it in a suit of his devising and destroyed select parts of his research. He was unsure of the social and economic ramifications of his tech, and left enough so that his research could eventually be duplicated, but he would still be ahead of them in the field of study.
Next he tried teaching, but found he was not suited to it. eventually he joined a physical research lab. Then he heard about TRADE in the news. After some looking into, he agreed with some of their techniques, but considered them criminals all the same. So he optimized his suit for combat and contacted SuperTemps. Here he hopes to get training and exposure to cutting edge science that the criminals work with. He was partnered with Amos Tonlin (Skylord), and the two are a constant partnership!
Personality/Motivation:
Impatient techno nerd. He finds it hard to deal with normal people. Also he want to test out his suit, with the idea to place select parts of his finding into circulation to help better people.Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Nucleus' suit allows him to shrink. right now he is limited to 5cm, but he is working on exceeding that. While small he can use electrostatic processor to fly. Also while small he can use the circuits in the suit to enlarge an atomic nuclei and absorb the energy. He then channels the energy either as a focused blast or an explosion centered on himself.In a fight, nucleus will shrink and fly into the situation. he'll then get close to the major amount of bad guys and let loose an explosion. He'll try not to get team mates in the effect, but....
Campaign Use:
Another scientist type with ties to TRADE. He also hires out as a consultant on other's research and experiments.Appearance:
Mediterranean Caucasian 170 cm and 66 kg with black hair and brown eyes. His suit is black with red gloves, boots and head covering. On his chest is an atomic nuclei in red!
So a battlesuit with a difference. Be aware he can generate a LOT of collateral damage.
To power down - Reduce flight to 10" and explosion to 8d6
To power up - Raise armour to 15/15 and single target EB to 11d6 as well. Also reduce vulnerabilities to 1 1/2 X ! -

Background/History:
Betty Smith was born near Yellowstone. Her parents were a forest ranger and a zoologist. So she grew up near animals all the time. Which was fine since she could actually talk with them. But she started to hide it as she grew older because it attracted unwanted attention. But after her mother died, her father pulled back from her. So she started talking to her animal friends more just to have someone to talk to. Her father caught her and yelled at her, so she ran into the woods. Betty was a skilled woodsman and easily evaded all the search parties (the local animals liked and helped her). Then she ran into the wounded bear.
In it's pain it charged at her and she discovered her ability to calm animals. She got it to go to sleep, went to a local ranger and guided everyone back to the bear. But it woke up and prepared to charge. The rangers were preparing to shoot when she calmed it down again enough that they could get it to a vet.
Her father grew closer to her and she started helping him at his job. And she opened up at school. Then she got a call from the local police. A family had been killed and the only witnesses were the family pets. So she questioned them and supplied enough info that the could track him down. Since then she has gotten a flood of requests, so she registered with SuperTemps to screen the requests. She is still a teenager and is not sure what she wants to do after that, a ranger or a vet!
Personality/Motivation:
A nice normal teenager who just happens to be able to talk to animals. She is a bit shy, but she is working on overcoming that.
Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Lynx has a suite of abilities that allows her to survive in any terrain.
First she can talk with animals.
Second she can cause even the most angry animal to calm down.
Third she can mimic any animal sound after hearing it just once.
Fourth she has a selection of body control abilities. She can harden her skin and quickly heal even most minor damage (her FF), can heal even larger wounds (self heal) and alter her metabolism to increase her physical abilities.
Campaign Use:
A supreme tracker. IF it leaves a trail, she can follow it!
Appearance:
Caucasian female 168 cm and 48 kg. She has shoulder length black hair and brown eyes. Her costume is a modified ranger outdoorsman outfit!I really like this build as it is another non combat type, BUT...
To power down- Dex 15 and SPD 3 with no self heal or metabolism abilities
To power up- Increase metabolism abilities and self heal and animal sooths to 50 AP or even 60 AP. Also though she is non violent, she will run into those who are so some defensive Martial Arts, like Aikido, would totally suit her! -
He's big and bright

Background/History:
William Raintree grew up in Los Angeles, but his life was never angelic. Constantly sick, he missed a lot of school. Eventually due to the embarrassment of being behind, he dropped out. Always a big person, he wandered the streets and slowly his health improved, until it looked like his skin was a glowing red. He joined a gang, but when the gang leader turned on him, calling him a freak, he darkened the area and fled.
Back on the streets, he ran across a film crew condemning the bad lighting. So Billy went to the director, dimmed the area, and asked if that was better. By the end of the day, he had a steady job on the film crew as a special lighting expert and worker moving heavy equipment. Billy wanted to do stunt work until someone suggested SuperTemps. After a battery of test, he found out about his light blast ability. Right now he is setting up a new defense squad in San Diego.
Personality/Motivation:
Basically he's a normal with super powers. He treats this like a job. But he also a code of honour like not attacking first and never from behind.

As a mental power, does it need one? IF so then Add it in, but that really adds to her expense!

Background/History:
Bhanu Srinivasthari was born to liberal parent near Delhi. From a young age she loved the old scriptures and the great stories, like Rama, Vishnu and especially Krishna. But she was still placed in an arranged marriage. But her stress and trepidation at the ceremony caused her latent mutation manifested and she physically changed into a beautiful "Goddess" that called herself Kalkin. She slowly rose up to the roof and through the ceiling. Needless to say the wedding was called off and Bhanu moved with her parents to Delhi. There she went finished school especially in Math and proceeded to go to University. While studying for exams, she wished she could change into Kalkin, and she did. After wandering town, she tried to change back into Bhanu. (PS she still passed the exam). She used the fact that she was a "Goddess" to try to get bad people to change their ways, and it worked, but too much attention was coming on to her. So she moved, to California.
There she studied Computer Science and graduated magna cum laude. While practicing her new form, she discovered a new ability, she can interface with computers. She can enter them, read the memories, change the programming. So she went into business as a computer consultant. Soon she was getting all the work she wanted, but she wanted to help people, so she signed up with SuperTemps, Currently she works in Houston in the Guardian Division.
Personality/Motivation:
Help others. She has powers, they come with a responsibility!
Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
In her normal form Bhanu is very beautiful, but as Kalkin she is breath taking. She can fly (slowly) and become desolid. Her greatest ability is the ability to interface with computers. She can control them, read their memory, generate false images, even reprogram them. She cannot use her powers on humans, but she can confuse them with forced images.
Campaign Use:
If there is any campaign where getting into computers and getting their information, then Kalkin will be in the middle of it. Also any villains prone to using robots and drones will find her a nemesis!
Appearance:
Indian female 162 cm tall and 41 kg she has long black hair and brown eyes. She dresses in traditional Hindu clothing like saris. In Kalkin form her features become more regal and her clothing become more luxurious.She's obviously not a combat monster so powering her down would not do much. If you insist, the reduce SPD to 3 and get rid of the confuse touch. If you want to go further make all the abilities at 40 AP, so 8d6.
Powering her up - make her Computer Touch also work on humans. This would make her much more combat capable! -

Background/History:
Stan Andrews grew up the son of a minister. Though he got into the occasional trouble, he was a solid, dependable, and therefore popular, young man. One night he witnessed a drug deal, and one member decided to shoot him. But as the bullet hit his chest, Stan's body became metal. The next six rounds bounced off. The person tried to escape by car, but Stan ripped the door off. He then carted the man to the police. Unsure of his next move, Stan consulted his father. His father suggested that these might be a gift from God, and he should use them to help others. So he joined SuperTemps on condition that he be allowed to finish his education. They placed him in a Guardian Squad that needed a brick and had an accredited teacher.
Unfortunately he found out members were on the take. When he reported this to ST headquarters, they asked him to stay on undercover. Eventually it came to light that members of the squad were taking payments from Organized Crime to look the other way. ST public relations department spun him as a straight arrow teen, and he gained a following. Now in a Defense Squad, he hopes to finish his High School, then .....
Personality/Motivation:
Stan is so clean he squeaks. But he is a genuine nice guy. He is also a devout Baptist, but is very tolerant of others, except drug dealers!

Harold Potter always wanted to be a Superhero. But with no powers he settled for next best thing, a policeman. Despite his lack of physicality, he managed to graduate. But he was badly injured in his first year, and with the large settlement he received, he set up a PI firm. But business was slow, until Chloe Vanderlan hired him to find her ex-husband. It took a LONG time, and in the course of the investigation, he fell for Chloe. And after his business slowed down again.Then events happened when he was sleeping, where he dreamed he was at the site. So he called Chloe to test his clairvoyance ability. But it was even stranger. Harold was a metamorph and had a second form, a Cajun strongman called Blockbuster. Then he found he had a third form called Heavy Nova. And he found neither had much difficulty with... collateral damage. Seeing law suits in his future, he joined SuperTemps as a resident detective and trouble shooter. Both were placed in the Guardian Division.
Personality/Motivation:
Harold is the base form. He can force either of the other two to shift to him when he wants to. On the whole Harold is optimistic, upbeat and positive. He has a cool girlfriend, a decent business and he can be a superhero.Quote:

Sometimes being a legacy has its downsides. So it was for Barbara Espanoza, whose father was the original Javelin. But Barbara had two deficiencies, she had no powers and she was a girl. What she did have was great intelligence and a knack for technology. But still, her father could not hide his disappointment. Even after getting degrees in Computer Science and Engineering, she still didn't measure up. Then her father died on television trying to save laves from a blood thirsty villain. After the city mourned, Barbara turned the sizable inheritance into a private lab, and proceeded to develop the gear she would need. She then debuted as Javelin. But the stress got to her and she developed a drinking problem. So she joined SuperTemps as a way to regain some control. Since then she was placed in Apparition's squad and after some careful coaxing, the grief and anger spilled out. Apparition is keeping her on her team to help her sort through her problems, and she has been getting help for her drinking. Things are looking more positive.Personality/Motivation:
A legacy hero tied with a neglectful father figure. She has issues!Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Javelin is a ranged combatant. She uses her flight to stay away from the opposition, and will either hit them with the Energy Rings (Entangle) or the Javelins (EB). In addition she has a self heal device in case she is injured, and a sophisticated HUD.Campaign Use:
If your campaign has other legacy type characters, they may know each other. She is also a talented scientist, and could be tagged for some interesting gadgets. Also the villain responsible for killing her father is still out there.Appearance:
Hispanic female, 163 cm, 50 kg with long brown hair and brown eyes. Her suit is metallic silver with a gold one-piece swimsuit effect. Her chest are has a black lightning bolt symbol. Her gloves are very high tech and black. Also she has a head covering that leaves her hair free, but large goggles that hold her HUD units!Story hooks galore with this one.
To power down- Get rid of the Gadget Pool
To power up- Increase to EB to 12d6 and the Entangle to 7d6. Make flight 25". Change the HTH level to All Combat. -
She's a <bleep> disturber

Florence Lindham was INTENSLY curious. She never acted on this, but she just wanted to know what is going on. She got very creative about it, but even so she got into trouble for hearing things she was not supposed to know. But among her close friends she is known as the confident who never blabs. One day she heard that a local company was hiring secretaries, so she applied and got the job. But on night as she was leaving, she saw some men go into the VPs office. Her curiosity got hold of her and she listened in and discovered they were setting up a hit against a rival company. In her haste to leave she revealed her presence. One member chased her. In desperation she jumped off the railing in the stairwell and fell UP. But her pursuer could fly as well so eventually when she reached the top and open sky, she wished she could go FAST. In a whoosh of movement, she left her pursuer behind, and when she calmed down, she was in another state. She phoned in a tip from a pay phone and managed to fly home unobserved.Soon she was testing he powers and found out about her extra strength, super eyesight and durability. She registered with SuperTemps soon after and she became one of their resident couriers.
Personality/Motivation:
Upbeat and honest. Also an intense curiosity (it'll get her into trouble one day).Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
FTL can fly. At normal speed she can hit 60 kph (120 kph out of combat). But she can really go into overdrive if she wants. The difficulty is she can only do it once per day no mater what distance she covers. In addition her strength, durability, eyesight and ability to endure cold and low pressure are all enhanced.FTL hates fighting. She'll try to fly away if possible, and will dodge and weave if she has to. IF backed into a corner, she'll just let loose with a flurry of punches and kicks.
Campaign Use:
Want to get heroes involved in an adventure?
1) FTL has a package and people are chasing her to get it. What is it and who wants it?
2) FTL heard something she shouldn't have. Can the heroes help?Appearance:
Caucasian female 173 cm and 66 kg with shoulder length reddish brown hair and green eyes. Her costume is a simple dress with a leather jacket over it. She wears a simple domino mask over her eyes!
To power down- reduce vision to +6, Armour to 10/10, Strength to 30, and Get rid of DCV levels
To Power up- Str to 35, flight to 25 with a X4 NCM. She isn't really a fighter, but a Move-by with those stats would be good, and her tackling someone will hurt even a brick.

Personally, I agree that the prominence of nonhumans could and should be raised in this world. I always disliked that the population figures in the "gazeteers" for Greyhawk invariably quote numbers for humans first, even in the lands ruled by other races. Often the populations of "demihumans" are just noted as "few," "some," or "many." One trick I suggest, for lands which do list sizeable numbers of demihumans, is to reverse the population numbers for them and for humans, so the nonhumans are clearly the majority.
Just as an aside, IF you were to do this trick in Greyhawk, which countries would you do this too?
Also you mentioned many of the forest and hill and mountains that have sizable demihumans. Which are MOST likely to have their own government?
Finally, as we know, the human cultures all have different pantheons. Should the demihumans get the same treatment? (Should the dwarves of the Hellfurnaces Mtns have the same gods that are worshipped in those viking analog lands all the way to the east?)

Joe Kazanski was working on his Masters in Political Science and getting ready to enter Law School. He had finished the last pages of his thesis and was heading home when the tripped and his briefcase opened. His main preoccupation was grabbing the ring for his girlfriend when it fell down a sewer grate. In frustration he ripped off the grate and reached down to grab it before he realized he was taller and Much Stronger. When he talked it over with his girlfriend,(after proposing to her) she propose that meta human law was a big subject and he could get on the ground floor. So he joined SuperTemps. They offered to help pay his law school, if he took a few cases for them occasionally. He now has his Law License and heads up the Birmingham office. Now only if his Fiancée can get him to stop moving long enough to pop the question.Personality/Motivation:
Leader. Deacon Blues wants to be in charge. Also he is politically ambitious. How this will react with his duties as a hero remains to be seen.Quote:
Powers/Tactics:
Deacon takes point. He is fairly durable and can go toe to toe with other bricks.Campaign Use:

So first up the new Lord Mocker
Hope you like it so far!
To power down - Really? When I just pumped him up? OK get rid of the flight. This keeps him ground bound.
To power up - Hearing Flash, AE cone, Force Wall. Basically anything that will add to his attacks. Also an active sonar system would be logical!
